TRADITIONAL RENNET

Mentioned in texts from as far back as the twelfth century, this semi-hard cylinder-shaped cheese is matured on spruce planks with occasional brine washings. The pate is nutty and slightly fruity, made more pronounced by the use of a girolle machine. As the blade of the machine turns it produces delicate rosettes of cheese, creating more surface area and thus more taste. Wonderful when used for canapes, snacks or salads, it marries perfectly with dry white wines.
